I used Certified Home Inspections of NH and was quite happy. He was prompt and professional.
I have two friends who are retired now who both were in the home inspecton business. They checked his report and also viewed my home. They stated his report was excellent.
Now, you have to understand what a home inspector does and does not do. This is not Holmes on Homes as seen on TV. That TV show the producers hire professional electricians, plumbers, housing framers and builder BEFORE Holmes visits any house. Holmes on Homes is a TV show. Not real life.
If you want a detailed fully inspected home then hire the following:
1. House Builder
2. Licensed Plumber
3. Heating Contractor
4. Licensed Electrician
5. Licensed Septic Designer
6. Mason if any chimneys in house
7. Professional Pest Control company
8. Professional concrete foundation company
9. Roofing company
10 Certifed asbestos inspector
11. Certified lead paint inspector
12. Certified radon inspector
And the list goes on. Have each certify their finding and quarantee their finding just in case they miss something.
And no, I don't think any of the 12 listed above will guarantee anything.
